Welcome to JRTRO!

If you are interested in adopting a wonderful Jack Russell Terrier, looking to volunteer your time, or seeking information about finding a new home for your Jack, you’ve come to the right place. Our organization is dedicated to fostering, finding and placing Jack Russell Terriers in new homes.

Our Jacks are famous! Check out our new Public Service Announcement below. You can also see their starring role in the new music video by Late July here.

Can you help? Abused, neglected and un-wanted Jacks need new warm, loving homes. Can you help by being a foster parent? Please help stop the slaughter of million of animals every year. Contact us for more information, or click here to complete a foster application.

Click here to join the HHP Available Pets Mailing list and they will email you a list of new dogs that are available for adoption each week.

Avoid the “puppy stage”!

Consider adopting one of our older Jacks

Jack Russell Terriers live longer than many breeds (well into their teens), our older dogs – even at age 9 or 10 – still have plenty of years of energy and love ahead of them. Bonus: Older Jacks tend to be calmer, more obedient and are renowned for their expert cuddling abilities.
